2011 Map of Mahoney Hill

About this map

Pleasant Valley Colony and the small settlement of Three Forks occupy a landscape defined by the complex drainage systems of Sand Coulee Creek and its many branches. This 2011 survey illustrates a region where ranching and agriculture are shaped by the land's elevation changes, ranging from Bayes Coulee in the south to the high points of Mahoney Hill and Forest Hill. The map documents the local infrastructure of Cascade County through named thoroughfares like Centry School Rd and Cottonwood Coulee Rd, which connect remote homesteads to landmarks like the Tiger Butte Cemetery. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by the presence of Big Dumb Bunny Dam on Spring Creek and the long paths of Box Elder Creek and Shellrock Creek.
